Fu Bao, the first giant panda born in the Republic of Korea (ROK), met the public for first time in 2025 following a rehabilitation period for more than 100 days on Tuesday. She was transferred to an inner enclosure for a thorough medical examination to determine the cause of its discomfort after exhibiting concerning symptoms in December 2024.
